2. The power of Technology
• Students are not intimidated by technology.
They will just dig in and learn what needs to be
learned
• Computers give students and teachers
immediate access to current information,
powerful software applications and
instantaneous feedback from other students,
teachers and experts.

3. Technology in Education
• You don’t need to be a technology expert.
• Your role is to stay focused on the teaching and
learning process by designing a great project
that provides abundant opportunities for
students to use various technologies.
• The teacher who is organized in terms of
routine, behaviors, and materials typically is
better prepared for class and sets an example
of organization for students that supports their
organization for learning.

5. Application Base
Learning Essentials for Microsoft Office is a
desktop application that runs on top of Microsoft
Office to give students and educators a custom
Office environment with tools to help them work to
their full potential.

6. What is Learning essentials?
• Learning Essentials for Microsoft Office offers
new toolbars for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
The toolbars are especially convenient for
creating documents with equations or foreign

like quizzes and reports.

7. Available Versions
• It’s contains two versions of a customizable
template and tutorial organizer: one for students
and one for teachers.
• The educator version of the organizer is easy to
use and well suited to teachers new to
integrating Office into lessons. The student
version's interface and content mirror the
educator version's, but the resources are
grouped quite differently. This creates a hurdle
for educators incorporating the student version
into assignments or classes.

8. How to use ?
• The templates in the organizer are numerous,
attractive, and useful, but experienced Office
users may find launching templates from an
external program cumbersome in comparison to
applying them from within Office.

Essentials outweighs the few small usability
flaws, positioning it to become a classroom
staple.

collection, essays and reports, research and
brainstorming, presentations - the list goes on.
